An Autobiography - Agatha Christie

I like Agatha Christie. I knew this was on the longer side, so it sat on my pile of books to be read for quite a while.

This goes through the popular author's life in her own words. She's 75 at the time, and she lived another ten years after that. She has a bit of sass and makes sure to let the reader know she hasn't spent tons of time editing. She wrote it the way she wanted and in the order she wanted.

I found it interesting to see things through her eyes. Her books, how she got into writing, and even what she thought of her own works. I was particularly shocked to see what she wanted to do to my favorite, "And Then There Were None" when trying to turn it into a play. I hated the movie where people lived at the end. She had the idea to leave the two alive in the play. It would align with the nursery rhyme as well. I mean, the original title, while inappropriate today, could've altered the plot, but I still don't like the change. Tangent over. I just really like that book, and I hated when the movie took the genius out of it.

Anyway, I liked this book for the most part. There were times when she would go on a bit longer than I wished about some topics, but overall, it was interesting to get a glimpse into the brain of the woman who didn't really see herself as an author most of the time. She had some great quotes in there and an interesting way of looking at life. Good Book!
